Question

In a total time of 3.0 minutes, a duck on a pond paddles 31 m [N33oE] and then paddles
another 57 m [E28oS]. Solve for the displacement graphically (with a ruler and
protractor) and then answer the questions. 

The scale diagram should have a scale, labeled axes, correct vector length and directions, vector
labels, appropriate significant digits based on your measuring device and final answer with
magnitude to correct sig figs, with unit and direction. 

Using the displacement you determined from your graph, what was the duck’s average velocity
for the trip? 
What total distance did the duck travel? 
What was the average speed of the duck for the whole trip?
